Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
The Voice of the Lord in the Storm
29 Give to the Lord, O sons of the powerful. Give to the Lord shining-greatness and strength. 2 Give to the Lord the honor that belongs to Him. Worship the Lord in the beauty of holy living.
3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters. The God of shining-greatness thunders. The Lord is over many waters. 4 The voice of the Lord is powerful. The voice of the Lord is great. 5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars. Yes, the Lord breaks in pieces the tall cedars of Lebanon. 6 He makes Lebanon jump like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild bull. 7 The voice of the Lord sends out lightning. 8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert. The Lord shakes the desert of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth, and tears away the leaves of the trees. And in His holy house everything says, “Honor to God!”
10 The Lord sat as King over the flood. The Lord sits as King forever. 11 The Lord will give strength to His people. The Lord will give His people peace.
26 “Is it by your understanding that the hawk flies, spreading his wings toward the south? 27 Is it because the eagle is obeying you that he flies high and makes his nest in a high place? 28 He lives on a high rock. His strong place is on the mountain-top that is hard to reach. 29 From there he looks for his food. His eyes see it from far away. 30 He is where dead bodies are and his young ones drink the blood.”
The Lord Is Speaking to Job
40 Then the Lord said to Job, 2 “Will one who finds fault not agree with the All-powerful? He who speaks strong words against God, let him answer.”
3 Job answered the Lord and said, 4 “See, I am not important. What can I answer You? I put my hand on my mouth. 5 I have spoken once, and I cannot answer; even twice, and I have no more to say.”
25 “I have told you these things while I am still with you. 26 The Helper is the Holy Spirit. The Father will send Him in My place. He will teach you everything and help you remember everything I have told you.
